Course specific prerequisites
General requirements from a Bachelor's degree are required.Aim
This course introduces technologies for helping people with sensory and motor disabilities to regain functions. The course also presents methods to evaluate and monitor the impairment as well as the functional improvement due to the application of of such technologies.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Acquire knowledge on the sensory and motor systems.- Analyze the state of the art in rehabilitation engineering both in clinical and research settings.
- Design technologies to help disable individuals to regain sensory and motor functions and compare those technologies to the state of the art.
Content
- The concept of rehabilitation- Neurophysiology basis for control of movement
- Mechanisms for natural control of movement
- Pathologies of the sensorimotor system and assessment of disability
- Technology for restoring movement (prostheses, nerve transfers, electrical stimulation, robot-aided rehabilitation)
- Brain-computer interfaces and neuroplasticity
- Engineering approaches in ergonomics
- Sport injuries and rehabilitation
- Technology for restoring sensation (bone conduction hearing, sensory feedback, visual prostheses)
- Motor deficit in infants and the elderly population
- Human-robot interaction
- Medical technology design
Organisation
The course includes lectures and a project work.Literature
Teaching material will be provided during the lectures in the form of, among other things, articles from research literature and specialist journals.Examination including compulsory elements
- A written exam (compulsory)- A project (compulsory)
- The grading will be based on the written exam, grading scale TH.
- The project work must be passed.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
